Tomorrow Party of Japan

The Tomorrow Party of Japan (TPJ) was a green political party in Japan that was active from 2012 to 2013. The party was founded by Governor of Shiga Prefecture Yukiko Kada, and the party was supposed to serve as an alternative to the Democratic Party of Japan and the main Liberal Democratic Party of Japan. The party sought to eliminate nuclear power by 2022, freeze the government's plan to raise the sales tax, and to decline participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The party's poor results in the 2012 elections led to the party dissolving in 2013.
